Mark, Cursor properties were introduced in 7.6.2.30102 and 8.0.17.30102.
Not in R:Docs. Learn about in Super Advanced Training and the EE version that you receive in the SAT. Cursor changes ONLY for the field identified with componentid. Technically you could have 20 different cursors on your forms.

What version supports it ? I checked Rdocs and could not find it either. On a related issue If a property command is wrong - does it generate any error messages ? If so how do we see them Is there a definitive guide to syntax, ie when is what quoted, when to use <table|component ID> or <formname|component ID> instead of just the component ID etc. Mark Lindner Lindner & Associates PC 254 Second Ave Needham MA 02494 781 247 1100 Fax 781 247 1143 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jan johansen Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 1:34 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: No cursor in a DB Memo field, typing OK Ted, With out knowing the specifics in your form here are some suggestions. 1. Use the On Focus properties of the DB-Memo to change the background colors of the fields. DB-Memo Properties | Effects | Background Color when focused or PROPERTY <Component ID> HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR 'YELLOW' (I like yellow, works well in a nmber of themes) in your on-entry eep to the field. 2. In a form with 2 tables the focus will remain on the first table. Use unique component ID's on fields in your 2nd table. PROPERTY <field1in2ndtable> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' 3. Change the cursor style. Make sure your field has a good component ID . Place this in your field. PROPERTY <FormFieldComponentID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY <FormFieldComponentID> CURSOR -21 (gives you a finger point) . crAppStart (-19) . crArrow (-2) . crCross (-3) . crDefault (0) . crDrag (-12) . crHandPoint (-21) . crHelp (-20) . crHourGlass (-11) . crHSplit (-14) . crIBeam (-4) . crMultiDrag (-16) . crNo (-18) . crNoDrop (-13) . CrNone (-1) . crSizeAll (-22) . crSizeNESW (-6) . crSizeNS (-7) . crSizeNWSE (-8) . crSizeWE (-9) . crSQLWait (-17) . crUpArrow (-10) . crVSplit (-15) Lastly, check your clock settings.

The first table and its fields work fine. When I click in the first field of the second table, there is no cursor - however, I can type in the field just fine. The cursor will not appear unless I click on another field in the second table. If after that I click in the first field again, the cursor is there. I have tried PROPERTY set_focus commands, skip to commands, even clicking "add row" or "refresh" does not give me a cursor in the first field of the second table. The tables are linked through a common column, a date column. The second table's date is set by a variable derived from the first table's date field. That seems to work fine; the date populates correctly upon clicking in the top field of the second table. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Maybe it's lack of sleep, but I can't seem to find the problem! Best Regards, Ted Ted Lienhard CNE NCT Golden Valley Consulting
